A 20-inch Windows 8 tablet that fails to live up to the promise. Sony has been growing its own crop of game changers. The Sony Vaio Duo 11 puts its Vaio design ethos into one of the niftiest sliding tablets we've ever seen, that's more than ready to compete with the likes of the Microsoft Surface and the Asus Vivo Tab and Vivo line.

This 20-inch Sony Vaio Tap 20 does something else altogether.
Windows 8 marked a major overhaul of Microsoft’s operating system, but it wasn’t just the software that got a makeover. Manufacturers also built new hardware to work with Windows 8’s touch-focused interface, including a diverse range of tablets, laptops and hybrid designs. One of the most interesting products to emerge from the group was an all-in-one PC from Sony.

FOR
Big, bright screen
Built-in battery
Bundled accessories
USB 3.0 ports
AGAINST
Incredibly heavy
Poor screen resolution
Schizophrenic personality
Middling performance
Sony estimates the Vaio Tap 20’s battery life at two hours and 45 minutes. For my battery drain test, I played back-to-back video with the screen brightness set to 75 percent and Wi-Fi on, and the Vaio Tap 20 lasted for two hours and 30 minutes. It’s enough to get through most feature-length movies, but I’d love if it had another hour or two of battery life.
